I wish, I wish, I wishTo every cityI wish, I wish, I wishEvery hoodI wish, I wish, I wishAnd every blockI wish, I wish, I wishGood Ol' America!

Rollin' through the hoodJust stopped by to say what's upAnd let you know your baby boy ain't doing so toughAnd even though you passedGoing on four long yearsStill waking up late at night crying tearsJust thinking about those daysYou used to talk to meSmilin' while I'm sippin' on this HennesyAnd remember we bragged on how rich we would beTo get up out this hood was like a fantasy

1 - And now you hear my songs the radio is bangin'Oh I can't believe my ears And what everybody's sayin'And boy I'll tell youFolks don't know the halfI would give it all upJust to take one ride

(With you)How I used to kick it on the front porch(With you)And how I used to lay back and smoke weed(With you)And all the little days and party joints we'd doNow I'm just missing youHow I wish

2 - I wish that I could hold you nowI wish that I could touch you nowI wish that I could talk to youBe with you somehowI know you're in a better placeEven though I can't see your faceI know you're smiling down on meSaying everything's okayAnd if I make it out this thug lifeI'll see you again somedayI wish, I wish, I wishI wish, I wish, I wish

Now ever since this money comeIt's been nothing but stressSometimes I wish that I could just trade in my successY'all look at me and say boy you've been blessedBut y'all don't see the inside of my unhappinessMan I swear this shit gets heavy like a tonThat's why you hear me shootin' This real shit off like a gunHmm I wonder how my friends would treat me nowIf I wasn't iced up with a Bentley and a houseThat's why fake ass niggas get fake ass digitsAnd fake ass playas get a real playa hatin' 'emHoney Love goes platinum and y'all ass come aroundBut y'all don't wanna raise the roofUntil my shit is going down

Repeat 1

(With you)How I used to hoop off in them tournaments(With you)And how I used to club hop on weekends(With you)Your family called the morning of the tragic endDamn, my condolensces

Repeat 2

Voices in my head be telling me to come to churchSaying the Lord is the only way for you to stop the hurtDreaming of windows black tinted like a hearseWhen waking up to life sometimes seems worstAnd all I ever wanted is to be a better manAnd I try to keep it real with my homies nowFor me to save the world I don't understandHow did I become the leader of a billion men?

Repeat 1

(With you)How I used to street perform on Friday(With you)And how I'd go to church on Easter Sunday(With you)Instead of y'all throwing them stones at meSomebody pray for me
